Short story. Some chick was "hitting" on my brother in law, he made the mistake of bragging to my sister. She got upset and told this chick he was married. They went to seperate corners and he was going into detail of what "happened". My sister went over to the chick and was just going to tell her that she should leave married men alone and this chick came up off of the stool and started to throw punches. Security came and they took chick outside and my sister to a different area. The dude that was out with chick came back and said she wanted to file charges, my sister said she'd file charges as well. Dude came back and said she'd changed mind. They both had to sign a form from the casino, she thought, banning them both. My sister now finds out she signed something saying she was the aggresser and now chick is pressing charges. My sisters lawyer is telling her to plead guilty. I told her no. This could lead to chick pressing more charges and she may be denied employment in the future?

I work for a retailer that asks for customer info. Name, phone #, address & email address. I have to collect this info and at the end of the week send it to a database company that sells thier information. We are actually instructed not to tell the customer what we are doing with the information. We are also instucted to tell them it is for "coupon offers" if we are pushed further. Is that legal?

It is the current imagining of the majority of people on your planet that it is "not okay" to do that.Similarly, many of you still insist that it is not okay to assist another who wishes to end his or her life. In both cases you say this should be "against the law." You have come to this conclusion, presumably, because the ending of the life occurs quickly. Actions which end a life over a somewhat longer period of time are not against the law, even though they achieve the same result.Thus, if a person in your society kills himself with a gun,his family members lose insurance benefits.If he does so with cigarettes, they do not. If a doctor assists you in your suicide, it is called manslaughter, while if a tobacco company does, it is commerce. With your society, it seems to be merely a question of time. The faster the death, the more wrong it seems to be.The slower the death, the more it slips into Okayness.It is no more immoral to kill yourself quickly than it is to kill yourself slowly

He died 2 years ago in New Mexico. I have checked with the district and probate court and no will has been filed. My step mother wrote me and told me he died broke. He was a very successful businessman and I don't believe it. In the meantime my half sister bought a new house and drives a new car. He was sick and my step mother may have gotten him to sign over all his money in 2002. I know he deeded his half of their property to her trust. She has cancer so none of this makes sense. Someone suggested I hire a private investigator. What do you think I should do?

Every time I call to ask a question about my Chase credit card, I end up speaking to someone I do not understand and they do not understand me!!! I mean no offense but I mean I did not even get my issue resolved because I got soooo frustrated. I know these people will work for less money, but it's just not fair!!!!

What do you HONESTLY think (the first thought) when you see an Arab-looking person or a person wearing Islamic clothing at the airport?

Do you think it is just for airport security to put Arabs/Arab-looking people through more security checks than anyone else? Do you agree/support it? Do you think its fair?

I live in Pa and my next door neighbor asked us to cut down our trees. The trees are thin and tall and they almost are like a borderline between our properties. They are in a row of about 10. The neigbors said they are afraid that they will fall on their cars and they will be mad because thier cars are their babies! We were here first and the trees were here before us. do they have a case? Also, some of the trees are dying and small branches do sometimes fall in their yard.

read this article about my father that was the cover story from this Sunday's paper. I had no idea he even did this until I got phone calls from ALL of my friends and we can not figure out what to do to help. Any suggestions??? And he can not declare bankruptcy and rely on chapter 13 because he doesn't have the income to prove he can support the house. please, only serious answers that offer real advice. This situation hurts deeply.
